Internships

The internship program started in 1987. Since then students have had internships with dozens of private and public organizations. The internship program is administered each summer by a selected faculty member from the department. Students register for 3, 6, 9, or 12 semester hours of credit. The course is open to all students who qualify under the program requirements.
